I wouldn't be suprised if i do have to upgrade but then increased disc wear may be an issue.
Yes, compromise indeed. The OP did say track-only and barely street legal, which makes mixed-use pads like the DS2500 too street-biased for his application. For your application [DD + occasional HPDE], something like the DS2500 is a good compromise if there's no intent on swapping pads.
